IDCard

IDCard is a simple addon to show item, spell and achievement icons next to the tooltip.

You can left-click and drag the icon to move the entire tooltip. Also, you can shift-click the icon to link the item in Chat, or control-click the icon to try on that item. With an achievement icon, control-clicking opens the achievement frame to that achievement.

Note to addon authors:
IDCard has the ability to support an arbitrary number of tooltips. To add auto-support to your addon's tooltip, just call IDCard:RegisterTooltip(tooltip) passing it your tooltip object.

1.4 (2009-2-19)
- Fixed bug that caused control-clicking on non-items to try on the last item shown
- Added ability to control-click on achievements to open the achievement frame to that ach.

I don't know if you are still actively developing this mod but if you are kind of still there ... I would really appreciate an update At least for me it doesn't work the slightest bit

Make sure you have the Load Out of Date Addons check box checked on the addons screen. IDCard hasn't needed an update in a long while.

I like this IDCard thing, it's handy. The Ctrl+Click functionality is the icing on the cake though and it was instrumental lately (rummaging through guildspam links) in helping me find a weapon to prove something to a friend; that almost everything the Draenei build has a HUD on it. Be it a wall, a table, a totem or a sword.

'cause it's ugly up there? (just kidding) I haven't used a comparison addon since Paladins could exorcise the Forsaken so I never really had issues... (and back then, the comparison tips were usually on the right). I suppose if there is enough demand for wanting the icon somewhere else, I can add a few options, but the reason it's so tiny atm (48 lines total) is that it has no options.

Originally posted by tardmrr A little of both actually. I've been using this locally for a few weeks and was dragging my feet on releasing it. IDCard does things a little differently, and at the same times provides a few features LinkIcon does not. IDCard allows you to shift click to copy the link into chat and will also allow you to control-click to dress up the item as soon as I upload the new version (in 30-40 minutes).

Nice work. A great improvent over LinkItem, as I found myself trying to do just what you added :P
